[thelist] Blogging software

Okay, thanks for that.  I'll give Wordpress a try.  I used it several years ago and I imagine it has progressed since then.

As both a wordpress and drupal developer. Both are great solutions.

I lean to recommending Wordpress.

WordPress has the Events manager that can help handle your needs There are a couple really well dev-d ACL plugin that can fine tune to your specific needs and wants.
Wordpress also will handle your private postings and sessions.

WordPress makes it easier to handle with upgrading plugins and the code base as a whole from my experience.

The wordpress community has really decent template wholesalers that I can recommend.

Wordpress has matured very well from its earlier days.

My 50,000 foot brief description on the pains for using drupal being in your stage:

As both a drupal 5,6 and 7 developer....

Depending on your more detailed specifications that you may not have listed in this email the learning curve for your needs in Drupal will be very steep.

>From experiencing how Drupal jumps to major versions and changes api structuctural calls, I've experienced plugins and maintaining your code base can be restrictive and sometimes costly to upgrade to new major versions.  And that taxed my work.

Both systems will and do take a bit to understand how their ACLs work if you decide to do any plugin development.
